Chapter 105
Rebecca picked up the blueprint fragments on the ground, glowered at Chris, and firmly stated, “Why would I obey you? Dream
Chel’s pupils trembled in disbelief as he watched Rebecca stand her ground. He couldn’t believe she’d refused him and wouldn’t back down, which challenged his self esteem like never before.
Enraged, Chris shock Emily’s delicate lunul clinging to be and walked over to Rebeern with sharp, deliberate steps.
“Are you planning to leave without apologizing?” Chris’snarled as he grabbed Rebecca’s chin with one hand.
When Rebecca looked at him, she gave him a hostile glare as if he were an enemy. She didn’t feel like explaining why she hit Emily, and it was up to someone with good judgment to determine whether Emily’s words were a Esci in a falurication. As long as Chris was not blind, he could understand the situation clearly.
“Or else what? What do you want to do to me? Send me to prison for another four years?” Rebecca scoffed bitterly.
Rebecca’s resentful words caused Chris’s heart to sink, searing with an edge that made him frown. Those deep black eyes were still vigilant, revealing an aura of oppression that seemed to press down everything around them.
“It’s your faul for hitting someone. Take responsibility for your actions and avoid making excuses” Chris growled, tightening has grasp on Rebecca’s
chin
With that, Rebecca laughed disdainfully. The hatred in her eye flickered as she smirked and gibed. “In your eyes, it’s always me who is at fault, and the one to blame should be me, right? Do you think it’s fair that I should hear all the consequences?”
Witnessing this, Emily narrowed her eyes and didn’t utter a word. Rebecca chose to escape rather than speak up by brushing off her hand.
“I’m just asking you to apologize. Rebecca. Was it difficult to do so? Chris quarreled
Rebecca tried to wave off Chris’s hand, but he stopped her forcefully, causing her wrist to feel like it was about to break. She felt a sharp, stinging pain, and all the blood in her veins was latched in her palm, making her want to shed a tear,
Bearing the pain, Rebecca raised her head, darted at the cold man before her, and decisively squeezed out a word from her throat, saying, “Mr. Evans, it seemed like you intended to break my hand.”
Hearing her words, Chris lowered his eyes and glanced at Rebecca’s reddened wrist. The image of her blueprints suddenly double–crossed his mind, knocking his conscience.
“Get out!” Chris hollered, holding back his emotion
“Mr. Evans, if I can, I would appreciate it if we didn’t have to cross paths again.” Rebecca rebutted, her eyes flickered with resentment before she confidently walked away.
Meanwhile. Emily couldn’t shake off the lingering uneasy feeling within her. Could the ribbed slap on her face to put the blame on Rebercs would fall in vain?
“Chris, why did you let Rebecca go? My lips bleed from her slap. Why did you let her off the hook without asking for an apology?” Emily questioned with frustration histing in her angelic voice. Emily’s impulses instigated Chris’s temper to fray as his jaw tightened, and his sharp interrogating eyes. shifted to Emily, asking, “Why did Rebecca slap you?”
1L..” Emily stuttered, sounding aggrieved, and continued, “I wanted to see what’s inside the blueprint, so I politely asked her if I could see it However, she refused arrogantly and even insulted me with some unpleasant words.”
Emily’s cheeks were sharp because she grilled her teeth in anger.
“Emily, when will you grow up? Stop whining and start to act like a mature adult.” Chris preached, his brow.
Rebecca’s heart thumped upon hearing this. She twiddled her thumb and mumbled, “Chris, are you blaming me?”
*Emily, how long are you going to keep your act? The Hit–and–run case, Rebecca’s alcohol poisoning, standering her for stealing, and tearing up her designs. Is there anything that has wronged you? Chris interrogated, painting his eyes.
Chris had a complicated expression at this point. He spared his eyes with a heavy heart in retrospect with the past as his hand balled into a st
In the past, Chris was seventeen when he was kidnapped. It was Emily who saved him. The four kidnappers insulted the i
of him while he was tied to a store pillar and watched Emily being bullied by the bad guys.
That time, Erolly’s desperate and painful cries were like a curse thuring the incident. Chris owed his freedom to Emily, and their friendship was with a dark history. The reason why Chris strongly desired to make it up to her,
Four years ago after the hit and run accident, Emily immediately asked Chris for help to let Rebecca take the blame and serve as her scopingant
In a trance, as Ensily recalled her crimes, she rushed over to Chris in tears. She immediately embraced him and mourned, “Chris, please demt he so cruel to me! You said you’d always protect me and not let suyure holly me. Why did you stop talking when Rebecca appeared? Do you like her?”.
At this moment, her heart was like being grasped by the sharp claws of an eagle upon recalling how Chris acted every time Rebecca was around.
“Does he like Rebecca? How could it be? Emily snarled in mind.
“Chris, if you’d remain silent, you already gave me the answer. Emily bellowed in aggravation.
Rebecca went back to Creative Creations and headed straight to Klaus‘ office. She carried the weight of her anger, disappointment, and hatred for the Evans Corporation with every step she took.
“Mr. Smith, I’m sorry. I’ve let you down after all. I’ll take full responsibility for my failure” Rebecca apologized, bowing her head in respect.
Klaus raised his hand, stood up, and uttered, “It’s alright, you represented our company well, and that’s enough. You don’t need to prove your design talent to me. Focus on preparing for next month’s competition. That’s your chance to come back.”
With such words of motivation, Rebecca was taken aback. She did not expect to get their boss’s forgiveness so soon. She felt guilty at this moment, bat the grit roused her to strive further.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be bragging. I’ll definitely get rid of this bad habit in the future” Rebecca added, curling an apologetic smile.
Upon seeing this, Klaus twisted the pen in his hand and replied, “You’re not being complacent, Ms. Gadot You’re eager to prove yourself to someone to impress. Am I right?”
Baffled, Rebecca averted Klaus‘ gaze and nonchalantly denied, “That’s..you’ve got it wrong. Mr. Smith”
With his assumption being denied, Klaus furrowed his brow and an unknown emotion gleamed across his eyes which Rebecca didn’t see
Rebecca excused herself and left the office with a skeptical heart. When she arrived at her workplace, her phone rang, buzzing in her pocket before she could reach her seat. She hesitated momentarily before picking up the call from an unknown mamber.
As soon as the person on the other line spoke, her heart plummeted in dread.
“Rebecca, do you still want to know where Amelia is?”
